love it. And I have def been there. My first group bike rally 3 mile ride withthe kids on the box bike and I handed them the phone to play with. I knew it would take me a while and they were borderline cranky so I kept them happy and quiet so I could ride.

L- he is really cute when he decides to pretend the bucket is a pirate ship : )

V- when my oldest boy was this age he saved up for a Game Boy. Whenever we had to wait in a really long line or if he took the plane to LA by himself there was always another kid with a GB, too. They would connect their games and play away and talk, instant friends. Some people think technology is bad, but when you are dragging a kid along to do something they have no interest in it can be a life saver.
